No.

Probably not]

[Comes to sit next to her]

[tenses, just a little]

...will you say it again?

I don't think I have to.

That game was not what Silence anticipated.

It's not what I thought it would be either. Normally they provide some way to protect yourself at the expense of the other units. But this was completely dependent on popularity.

And yet, nobody protected us. I would understand if I were not protected... but nobody else on Future is Now deserved what came of that "popularity contest."

[especially given she just had an outburst about this with Shogun moments ago]

You're going to find yourself continually disappointed if you measure things on what people do and do not deserve. What does that even fucking mean?

It means that—I want better for everyone on this unit. That is all it means. My selfish desire.

I hope you're not using selfish here with a negative connotation. Everyone in that game acted out of their own selfish desires.

That is—true. I refused to supply any suggestions on who to protect, too.

Probably for the best. Otherwise there would have been hard feelings if someone had not been able to protect someone they cared about.

[And taking out his phone to send Silence 500 points]

Make sure to get that scar removed.

[grabs her phone—then realizes what he's done, WHAT???]

Why is that important? Of all things, the scar?

SensitIV has the ability to undo healing, or in this case, re-open scars. They've used it before in a game. It's wide-range and incredibly painful.

I don't want any of you to have to go through that.

You really are kind, too?

[what gives]

No. What purpose does wasting points or time on a scar have? It is not as if our appearance matters that much. Hideous people with marred skin and exhausted faces broadcast well, too.

Never repeat that outside of this dorm.

And it's not about appearances. It's about someone taking your head off mid-game. I've seen it and couldn't stop it. It's not pretty.

What do you mean?

I mean I a SensitIV undo healing and it resulted in someone's head falling off. I don't know how I could possibly make myself any clearer.

You are describing scenarios in which someone would want to remove the scar. Leaving the scar... would not pose a problem.

I think it is a waste. However...

[despite this, she's going on her phone and finally purchasing the scar healing]

...even the person I share this body with shouldn't be made to deal with that.

Yes, about that.

What are the conditions required for this other person to be out and about?

...now that you mention it, these past few days the murmuring in my mind has grown more consistent and louder. That may be her.

Do you know if she is going to have any of your memories when she does wake up?

Or should we prepare something for her in advance?

No idea... but that is good thinking. Silence can leave notes on our phone and carry the new member pamphlet. This way, the information's readily available.

If you have a different idea, that is fine, too.

That will work. You might leave a list of contact information for her to talk to first. I'd recommend Shine, Shogun, or myself.

Depending on how much emotional handling you think she'll need.

Understood.

Emotional handling makes her sound like a pet.

I'm being realistic.

From my experience with timeshares, the personalities vary wildly than the other person inhabiting the body.

If you need someone to be calm and friendly, Shine and Shogun are the best candidates. If she's an asshole, then she speaks the same language I do.
